Weapons in anime range across the spectrum, from swords customized to enhance their wielder's power, to elemental abilities that far transcend that of any mage. On this long list of weapons, one of the rarer - yet not less powerful - weapons fans don't often see is the whip. It's unique but certainly aggressive and takes quite a bit of tact to use. It could almost be said that an anime character's weapon says just as much about them as their name or backstory.
